FIG. 1A illustrates a structure for creating a content on a basis of at least a part of data acquired from an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

In the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the media data may include at least one of an audio and a video.

In the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may be a server for sharing the media data. Further, the electronic device may be a client for sharing the media data. Furthermore, the electronic device may be both the server and client for sharing the media data.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where the electronic device is the server for sharing media data, as shown in FIG. 1, an electronic device 101 may perform a communication connection with at least one external electronic devices 111, 121, and 131.

On the basis of the preview screens 141, 143, 145, and 147 selected in the electronic device 101, the electronic device 101 or at least one external electronic device may be requested to transmit second media data. In this case, the electronic device 101 may enlarge and display the selected preview screens 141, 143, 145, and 147.

In the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first media data may be preview data. In the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second media may be data to be stored.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where the electronic device 101 starts to create a content, the electronic device 101 may create the content on the basis of at least a part of the second media data acquired from the electronic device 101 or the external electronic devices 111, 121, and 131. In the content creating process, the electronic device 101 may create the content on the basis of the second media data which is received by requesting the electronic device 101 or the external electronic device to transmit the second media data, that is, the data to be stored, on the basis of a user selection from the first media data, i.e., preview data, received from the electronic device 101 or each of the external electronic devices.

In addition, the second media data may be received from the electronic device or the external electronic device on the basis of the user selection. According to the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 101 may store previously received second media data and newly received second media data by linking the data to each other. In this case, the electronic device may compare features of the previously received second media data and the newly received second media data. For example, the electronic device 101 may compare at least one of an extension, a coder-decoder (CODEC), a resolution, a brightness, a bit-rate, whether an audio is included, whether a subtitle is included, an audio volume level, a subtitle font, a video profile, a level, a compression scheme (e.g., context-adaptive variable-length coding (CAVLC), context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC)), and the like of the second media data. If the previously received second media data and the newly received second media data have different features, the electronic device 101 may convert (e.g., re-encode) the newly received second media data to have the same feature as the previously received second media data. The electronic device 101 may store the data by linking the newly received second media data and the previously received second media data.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where the electronic device is the client for sharing the media data, as shown in FIG. 1, if the electronic device 101 starts to share the media data with at least any one of the external electronic devices 111, 121, and 131, the electronic device 101 may transmit the first media data to any one of the external electronic devices. If any one of the external electronic devices starts to create a content, the electronic device 101 may transmit the second media data to the any one of the external electronic devices starting to create the content. In this case, the electronic device 101 may transmit the second media data in accordance with a time of requesting the second media data on the basis of an index table stored in a memory. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the index table may include at least one of a data type, length, offset, and timestamp for each frame or each stream of media data.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1B, media data received from the external electronic devices or media data of the electronic device 101 may be displayed with the same size in the electronic device 101.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1C, media data received in the electronic device 101 from the external electronic devices or media data of the electronic device 101 may be displayed by changing a location of displaying the media data.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, if media data received from the electronic device 101 or external electronic devices shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C is selected, a boundary of a preview screen displayed on the basis of at least a part of the selected media data may be displayed differently from an unselected preview screen. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the boundary of the selected preview screen may be displayed in an emphasized manner.

The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to convert, if the feature of the acquired second media data is different from a feature of previously acquired second media data, at least the part of the acquired second media data based on the feature of the previously acquired second media data.
 14. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the feature comprises at least one of an extension, a CODEC, a resolution, a brightness, a bit-rate, whether an audio is included, whether a subtitle is included, an audio volume level, a subtitle font, a video profile, a level, or a compression scheme of the media data.
 15. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to create the content based on at least one of an audio and video included in the second media data.
 16. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing instructions of a program, which when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, causes the at least one processor to control operations of: displaying, by the electronic device, a preview screen comprising respective first media data acquired via an image sensor of the electronic device and via an image sensor of each of at least one external electronic device; receiving, by the electronic device, a selection of first media data among the displayed respective first media data acquired via the image sensor of the electronic device and via the image sensor of each of at least one external electronic device, acquiring, by the electronic device, second media data corresponding to the selected first media data, the second media data being acquired via, the image sensor of the electronic device or an image sensor of one of the at least one external electronic device, which corresponds to the selected first media data; recognizing, by the electronic device, a feature of the acquired second media data that corresponds to the selected first media data; and creating, by the electronic device, the content in the electronic device based on at least a part of the recognized feature of the acquired second media data, wherein the electronic device is a handheld electronic device.
 17. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the program, when executed by the at least one processor of the electronic device, causes the at least one processor to control operations of, when the selected first media data corresponds to one of the at least one external electronic device, receiving the second media data from the at least one external electronic device based on at least one of a request for creating the content or a request for the second media.
